#120 STARYU

Staryu was not on my “to do it” list, but my wife was a picture of him and wanted me to try to make one.  Here is my attempt at making Staryu.

Staryu is worked in rounds under specified.  You start making Staryu by making two stars that are sewn together and stuffed. Once you have the star made, then make the accents.
